Anyone here with not working Olympus Mju II?

[Kouny]

Hey all,

I managed to break the front cover of my Olympus Mju II into two pieces but other than that it works perfectly fine. Basically, I was wondering if there's anyone who owns one that doesn't work and would be willing to sell me its front cover or the whole camera. I am currently living in the UK so preferably someone from UK/Europe.

Thanks.

I thought that one would be able to get one for pennies on ebay uk, but they seem to hold their price and are very popular going by the bidding:

So, fingers crossed that a member on here can help you. Oh, and welcome to the site!

It looks like this request may fall by the wayside as no-one has yet said they have a faulty or damaged Mju II to sell. I have one in working order that I wish to keep so can't help This may be a long shot but if the cover is only broken in two so not shattered into many pieces might it not be possible to find a plastic glue with which to mend it? A lot might depend on whether the top and bottom lips of the cover that slide along two runways remain unaffected after the repair

Best of luck

It's a little like the Jobo with a crack thread. To fix two pieces of the cover together you might be able to do it
with a reinforcement piece of plastic running the length of the crack and the PROPER cement. At least it may
work long enough until you find a good one.
The reinforcement would likely have to be on the outside depending on the clearance between the back of the cover
and front of the camera.
It wouldn't match but possible to have one 3D printed?

FWIW. It ain't gonna be pretty.
